Origami Easter Wreath

We’re starting to see some glimpses of spring in my
neighborhood. Of course, it’s spring Carolina style…you know, 70’s one day….20’s
two nights later. So right now, I’m refraining from the gardening I’m really
itching to do. But with Easter right around the corner, I really wanted to do
something cool and unique to welcome spring and the upcoming holiday.

When I think of Easter, one flower I think of is Easter
lilies. And as much as I love live flowers, my sister is extremely allergic to
lilies, and to be quite honest, their scent gives me a headache more often than
not. But I love how elegant they look…and well, they make me think of Easter!
New life, grace, salvation….all wrapped up in a beautiful flower.

So instead of suffering with a armful of real flowers for
Easter décor (I will suffer for my art but not THAT much), I went a slightly
less conventional route: origami lilies. These lilies are a classic origami
pattern, but I used them in an unusual way: I decided to make a bunch of them
and put them on a yarn wreath! So we will welcome our early Easter with a crisp
paper and yarn wreath….and that’s nothing to sneeze at (pun totally intended).

Here’s what you do:

Using various shades of yellow, coral, orange, and pink 3x3
origami paper, make a ton of origami lilies (I used this tutorial).

Very nice wreath! It is so pretty! I am a huge fan of origami; it is amazing what you can make with folded paper! I'm having a link party on my blog and I'd love for you to join!http://www.simplydreamandcreate.com/2013/03/simply-create-thursdays-2.html
